Look what you did, Spinister. You made Needlenose sulk! That's pretty evident from his words, which follow the letter of Spinister's command but deny the spirit.
//Cause of death? If it's not evident, don't touch him.// Spinister isn't letting Needlenose die on him twice, even if he didn't really die the one time. //Did you remember to check yourself for tracking devices?//

//Well, I can't be positive without a closer examination, but I'd say the fact that he looks like he was run through a metal shredder a few times has something to do with it. Massive amounts of damage, looks like battle damage.//
Needlenose mentally orders his Nebulans into gun mode, and holds Zigzag ready while Sunbeam is placed in his holster. It's a tough choice down here; Zigzag's accuracy is wretched, but Sunbeam is well below optimum power level. If whatever did that to the Seeker is there, Needlenose needs some firepower.
He pauses. //No tracking devices that I can find, but my diagnostic readouts are... off. Everything's reading high.// Another pause. His next words are faintly frightened. //And my transformation system looks to be completely off-line. I can't access it, can't bring it up, can't even call a diagnostic on it.//

There's a rattling inhalation from Spinister. What Needlenose has said is extremely bad. The first thing a medic asks a wounded patient is usually, 'Can you transform?' Also, Needlenose sounds like he's missing his diagnostic drivers. Vital software components do not just get up and go missing. The Autobots could have planted him with a virus that will slowly remove his vital software components until there is nothing left. It's a shame that Spinister isn't there. He kills faster than a virus.
He demands, //Needlenose, what happened to you? What did the Autobots do to you? Can you get clear of the ground interference to set a beacon? Do it, and I'll come. Starscream can wait.//
But remember his timestamp and remember what the last thing Spinister said to Needlenose was. He may not be intending to play angel of mercy.

Needlenose was already almost to the mouth of the cave, anyway. //I don't know what the Autobots did to me! I've been in stasis since we surrendered!// In fact, it was Needlenose who surrendered, but he did it on behalf of the group of them (and with the knowledge of all of them but Spinister). But that's close enough to 'we.'
//Hang on. Coming to the mouth... now.// There's a fairly long pause, and finally, //Coast is clear. I'll set my beacon now.// And he does.

//Hey, Spinister. This Hook's asking me the co-ordinates to the spot where I showed up in. Should I give it?//

//We need to go back for the corpse, anyway. Giving him the coordinates just means that we don't get stuck hauling it ourselves.//
Spinister is a practical sort.

//All right. Want we should go ahead and share our timestamps? If it's not our universe, it's not like they'll mean anything to them...//

//Why let them hold all the cards? Get all their timestamps from that Starfighter chap, and then transmit ours.//

//Hey, Spinister.// Needlenose sounds faintly peeved. //You ever get anything from Nightbeat besides "Grimlock did it"?//

Peeved? What right has he? Spinister's tone expresses his dissatisfaction with Needlenose, //Nightbeat conjectures that Grimlock went searching for a fuel called Nucleon. He couldn't have found it, but whatever he did, he tested on you and perhaps others.//

Needlenose's tone expresses disapproval of the disapproval! So there!
//Oh, of course. We're more expendable, after all.// He snorts. //Looks like that one backfired on the bozo.//
Oh, if only Needlenose knew...

Needlenose's player commits thread necromancy! (But seriously, why make a new thread for this?)
//Hey, Spinister! Starscream wants me to get your permission to have them room us and our Nebulans together in the same barracks. You got a problem with that?//
Needlenose figures Spinister's natural paranoia should mean he's safe. Frankly, he doesn't know anyone else here that well yet.

Spinister considers. He can see through Needlenose, and it is a very lucky thing for Needlenose that Spinister cannot see him now. He has suspicions, vague and formless, but that is all. Spinister is relatively certain that Needlenose will not kill him in his sleep, if he must share a room with someone, and that is more than he can say of the others.
//No.//
No, he does not have any problems.

//Needlenose, Dead End has sighted a lavender Emirate Xaaron who goes by 'Treaddraft' and claims to be a Decepticon civilian. We lost him in in the fight at the power plant. Shoot to disable if you can, otherwise shoot to kill. Maybe he's just Treaddraft, Decepticon civilian, but on the chance that he isn't, what's one dead civilian?//

//What?!// Needlenose exclaims over the radio, aghast. //Xaaron? Emirate Xaaron?! He was... he was there? On the battlefield?//
//And I was wasting time with Omega Supreme?!//
